	A Defence of Poetry
		Those in whom it exists in excess are poets, in the most universal sense of the word; and the pleasure resulting from the manner in which they express the influence of society or nature upon their own minds, communicates itself to others, and gathers a sort of reduplication from that community.
		In the infancy of society every author is necessarily a poet, because language itself is poetry; and to be a poet is to apprehend the true and the beautiful, in a word, the good which exists in the relation, subsisting, first between existence and perception, and secondly between perception and expression.
		Not that I assert poets to be prophets in the gross sense of the word, or that they can foretell the form as surely as they foreknow the spirit of events: such is the pretence of superstition, which would make poetry an attribute of prophecy, rather than prophecy an attribute of poetry.

		Common sense is on the one hand a certain set of processes of natural cognition - of speaking, reasoning, seeing, and so on.
		If, however, common sense truly is a common possession of all human beings who have reached a certain stage of maturity, then it will follow that each one of us is as qualified as the other to set forth at least the bare bones of the theory of this reality.
		All questioning and demonstrating which is in the usual sense historical presupposes history as the universal horizon of questioning, not explicitly, but still as a horizon of implicit certainty, which, in spite of all vague background-indeterminacy, is the presupposition of all determinability, or of all intention to seek and to establish determined facts.
